Thomas Tuchel looking to break Chelsea record against West Ham

Thomas Tuchel looking to break Chelsea record against West Ham

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will be aiming to break a club record when his side travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United in Saturday's Premier League clash.

Tuchel has steered the Blues to an FA Cup final and Champions League semi-final during his short time in charge, and his side are firmly in the mix for a top-four finish with six games remaining.

Chelsea suffered a humiliating 5-2 defeat at home to West Bromwich Albion earlier this month, but Tuchel is yet to lose on the road since assuming office in the capital - winning seven and drawing two of his nine away matches so far.

Should the Blues manage to avoid defeat against top-four rivals West Ham on Saturday, Tuchel would become the first Chelsea manager to navigate his first 10 away games without defeat.

However, Chelsea's opponents West Ham boast the second-best home record in the Premier League this term - only behind Manchester City - with David Moyes's side amassing 31 points from 16 home games so far.

Chelsea remain above West Ham in fourth place on goal difference, but they could find themselves in fifth before kickoff should Liverpool manage to beat Newcastle United at lunchtime.
